Jeffrey Peters speaks to 700 people from 70 countries at the World Forum on Spiritual Culture

I have a story to tell you. So please listen carefully because you might be the person I am looking for to Co-Create this New World Community of Love and Peace. My story begins in the spiritual capitol of Mexico – the valley of Tepoztlan, Morelos.On the morning of April 21, 2001, I was doing my morning meditation when two morning doves swooped down over my head and sat down in front of me on a stone wall, and began singing their Love Song – “Love You, Me Too – Love You, Me Too”..

[March, 2012] — Jeffrey B. Peters has been named a “Love Ambassador” by The Love Foundation (www.thelovefoundation.com), a nonprofit organization with the mission of inspiring people to love unconditionally. The announcement was made by TLF’s founder and president, Harold W. Becker, author of Unconditional Love – An Unlimited Way of Being, and Internal Power: Seven Doorways to Self Discovery. The Love Foundation is home of Global Love Day.

Mr. Peters is co-founder with his wife Cici of The New World Community of Love and Peace (www.newworldcommunity.com). “Our mission,” he says, “sourcing from Spirit, reflects the highest ideals and aspirations of all the world’s great religions and spiritual philosophies: to co-create a new world community of love and peace.” The Peters, who live in Tepoztlan, Morelos, Mexico, the spiritual capital of that country, says, “We hold these two words – “love” and “peace” – as more than mere words. Rather they reflect the deepest yearning of humankind – and indeed the intention of the Creative Intelligence and Nature Itself – for deep reverence for all life and the emergence of a profound harmony in the world among and between all human beings. Everyone’s invited. Everyone – believers and non-believers alike – are included.”

Jeffrey Peters is president of the The US-Mexican Development Corporation [USMDC] (http://www.us-mdc.com/), which brings Mexican and American entrepreneurs together in trade and business transactions such as start-ups, mergers and acquisitions, buying and selling companies, tourism, and residential retirement communities and vacation realty. He was co-founder with his wife Cici of We The People (http://wethepeople-wtp.org/), on whose behalfhe ran as candidate for President of the United States in 2000.

The Love Foundation says about its vision and purpose: “To further the understanding and application of unconditional love through education, research, and charitable programs. The desire is to explore a variety of activities that enhance unity and self-conscious expression while promoting love and respect to all aspects of life.

Mr. Peters joins a sizeable list of “Love Ambassadors” from around the world. This list includes such notables as Ravi Shankar, legendary sitarist and composer, India’s most esteemed musical ambassador; the late great Vaclav Havel, playwright, poet and first President of the Czech Republic; Ram Dass, American contemporary spiritual teacher and the author of the seminal book Be Here Now; and folk music legend Pete Seeger.

A New World Community. Who, What, Where, and Why

What? What do I mean by “A New World Community?” I mean a New World Community of Love and Peace for everyone, everywhere. We want the words Love and Peace; on your lips as you greet one another. We want “Love and Peace” on the top of your mind, and in the bottom of your heart.

Where? In the hearts and minds of all people, worldwide. In Tepoztlan, the spiritual capitol of Mexico.

Why? Why do suicide bombers kill themselves in order to kill others? There are many possibilities. Probably the most basic reason is that they feel their own life is not worth living, and they want the foreign invaders to leave their home country. Perhaps they do not have a job and their family needs money, and their “mentors” promise money for their family. And perhaps at their core, they do not love themselves nor have they received unconditional love from anyone, and their leaders promise them love in the “hereafter”.

A beautiful song reminds us - “What the world needs now is love, sweet love, it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of”. “What the world needs now is love, sweet love, no, not just for some but for everyone”. Love for suicide bombers before, that’s right, before they destroy themselves and us. If potential suicide bombers received genuine love here on earth, they might not kill themselves to receive possible love in the “hereafter.” There can be no peace without love. Love first, then peace.

Invitation: I have an Invitation for you – as one of God’s Ambassadors of Love, I invite you to co-create with me “A New World Community of Love and Peace”- will you step forward and help me? If you want to participate. Contact me with your feedback, comments, and suggestions for this work in progress – my email address is: jeffreybpeters@aol.com. My USA phone number is 1-301-560-1830.
